The dense self-organized morphology of Co0.85Se HNWs is revealed by scanning/transmission electron microscopy. The as-synthesized Co0.85Se HNWs possess high pseudocapacitive property with high capacitance retention and high durability. The areal capacitance value is seen to vary from 929.5 to 600 mF cm(-2) (60% retention) as the current density is increased from 1 to 15 mA cm(-2), an increase of a factor of 15. Based on mass loading, this corresponds to a very high gravimetric capacitance of 674 (for 2 mA cm(-2) or 1.48 Ag-1) and 444 Fg(1-) (for 15 mA cm(-2) or 11 A g(-1)) in a full-cell configuration with the Co0.85Se HNWs as cathode and activated carbon as anode (asymmetric configuration) promising results are obtained.</p>10aasymmetric supercapacitor10acarbon fiber paper10acobalt selenide10ahydrothermal10apseudocapacitor10aselenization1 aBanerjee, Abhik1 aBhatnagar, Sumit1 aUpadhyay, Kush, Kumar1 aYadav, Prasad1 aOgale, Satishchandra  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/hollow-co085se-nanowire-array-carbon-fiber-paper-high-rate-pseudocapacitor-001978nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245019300055210006900248260011000317300001400427490000600441520105100447100002001498700002601518700002301544700002701567700002401594700002501618856012901643       2014                        eng d  a2040-336400aMOF-derived crumpled-sheet-assembled perforated carbon cuboids as highly effective cathode active materials for ultra-high energy density Li-ion hybrid electrochemical capacitors (Li-HECs)0 aMOFderived crumpledsheetassembled perforated carbon cuboids as h  aTHOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLANDbROYAL SOC CHEMISTRYcFEB  a4387-43940 v63 a<p>Lithium ion hybrid capacitors (Li-HECs) have attracted significant attention for use in next generation advanced energy storage technologies to satisfy the demand of both high power density as well as energy density. Herein we demonstrate the use of very high surface area 3D carbon cuboids synthesized from a metal-organic framework (MOF) as a cathode material with Li4Ti5O12 as the anode for high performance Li-HECs. The energy density of the cell is similar to 65 W h kg(-1) which is significantly higher than that achievable with commercially available activated carbon (similar to 36 W h kg(-1)) and a symmetric supercapacitor based on the same MOF-derived carbon (MOF-DC similar to 20 W h kg(-1)). The MOF-DC/Li4Ti5O12 Li-HEC assembly also shows good cyclic performance with similar to 82% of the initial value (similar to 25 W h kg(-1)) retained after 10 000 galvanostatic cycles under high rate cyclic conditions. This result clearly indicates that MOF-DC is a very promising candidate for future P-HEVs in a Li-HEC configuration.</p>1 aBanerjee, Abhik1 aUpadhyay, Kush, Kumar1 aPuthusseri, Dhanya1 aAravindan, Vanchiappan1 aMadhavi, Srinivasan1 aOgale, Satishchandra  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/mof-derived-crumpled-sheet-assembled-perforated-carbon-cuboids-highly-effective-cathode-001445nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245013000055210006900185260011000254300001400364490000600378520054900384100002000933700002600953700002100979700002401000700002301024700002401047700002901071856012701100       2014                        eng d  a2046-206900aNickel cobalt sulfide nanoneedle array as an effective alternative to pt as a counter electrode in dye sensitized solar cells0 aNickel cobalt sulfide nanoneedle array as an effective alternati  aTHOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLANDbROYAL SOC CHEMISTRYcNOV  a8289-82940 v43 a<p>Self supported nickel cobalt sulfide (NCS) nanoneedles are directly formed on FTO glass substrates by sulphurization of nickel cobalt oxide nanoneedles (grown by a hydrothermal method) in the presence of a hydrogen sulfide and argon gas mixture.
